    :eek: 204 sausage rolls! :eek: Expecting a few guests?

    No, just the usual amount for Christmas. Family love them and once frozen, it’s an easy quick 18 minute cook when they want them. They like them warm. They won’t touch the supermarket stuff. Mince pies are the same.

    Didnt think mullers were working anymore :o

    Sorry bubbs only just saw this - yes still working though not as good as the previous 35p comparison they're all 50p v S now so £2.07 (I think) back from the £3 spend. Still a bargain at 93p for 10 yogurts :)

    Yes that’s right I bought them today. January dates on them as well now :D
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    I am glad the small shops/Amex thing has finished - it's the first time I have taken part and I wouldn't bother again ! I managed just 2 shops - 5 others had closed down and 3 bakeries caused me massive trouble as the staff were worse than useless. I asked first if they charged a fee for Amex and checked they would accept the card (they did have the Amex logo in the window but I wanted to be certain). I selected a mixture of pasties and then the trouble started when they tried to take payment as my card kept being refused - and I know there was nothing wrong withe the card as it as I had already used it today. After several abortive 'tries' they all decided they did not take Amex after all so I told them they could keep the goods. It was awkward as by the time they had finished there were long queues behind me - and the staff weren' too happy and having to put pasties back. All in all a waste of time.

    I understand that Amex physically check with each store months before the promotion runs to ensure they are happy to participate and that staff know what to do so there is no ex use really.
